Where can I find info. about each aspect of DOSBox internals?
Say where to find info about the VGA subsystems,
sound subsystems etc
Want to add a taiwanese card called Avance Logic to Dosbox
Any help would be grateful.

For some parts you can find reference/programmer manuals (intel),
Ralph Brown's interrupt/port list comes handy quite often.

I remember that a file called VGADOC or something like that contained information about registers, BIOS calls, SVGA modes and programming for many SVGA chipsets. Maybe you'll want to start with it.

Also, Ralf Brown's interrupt list has more general information, but it's a must have.

I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
Sometimes going all the way is just a start...

Thanks for helping! It's vast amount of info. It's all great!

I must say thanks to you for the link.
I am wondering if anyone knows of Alexi Lookin new email address.
His old one contained in VGADOC is not valid.
I'd like to get a copy of an image of Avance Logic SVGA bioses.
Thanks

Which is not all that odd, since it's from the early 90s. The only reference I could find to someone called like that is here. All other pages Google turns up are ages old.

Funny, I only knew Avance Logic from their sound cards...
